Med Time Planners

[Guest ehs]

Does anyone want to take a stab at whether or not a Med Time Planner or pill storage box is an FSA eligible expense? The box contains a compartment for each day of the week in which the patient is to place medicine / pill(s) for each day. Personally, I use my pants pockets to keep track, but thats just me.....

I got my pill box for free from the pharmacy.

That sounds like a convenience item to me.

No medical necessity for the box, therefor not eligible. Go to IRS website and look up Publication 502 for a full explanation. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf
